"Bunny Hugged" is a 1951 Looney Tunes cartoon short, directed by Chuck Jones, starring Bugs Bunny. In this one, Bugs is the pet of a rather delicate pro wrestler named Ravishing Ronald who is quickly pummeled half-to-death by his opponent, a terrifying muscleman called "The Crusher". Bugs, seeing that his "bread and butter" is imperiled, decides to go into the ring himself as "The Masked Terror". Naturally, The Crusher is hardly bothered by the wrestling skills of a small rabbit, so Bugs decides that he needs to reach into his bag of tricks to defeat him.

Squash Match: This wrestling equivalent to the Curb-Stomp Battle is what happens when Ravishing Ronald is decisively defeated by The Crusher. Bugs's challenge to The Crusher is on its way to being this when Bugs decides he needs to get more creative.

Talking with Signs: While the announcer introduces the Masked Terror, Ravishing Ronald, trapped inside his own hairnet, holds up signs asking for help.
